    close

    Please dont take my words as final. Wait for experts comment from
    others in the group.

    Coming to the numbers ...
    I have no clue as why this indifference...
    but whenever I come across 900 in tamil, i remember one incident my
    father told me.

    My father retired as chief cashier from Uco bank some 6 years back.
    around 8 years back when he was doing his rural service in a village
    near arakkonam,this peculiar situation occured.
    A village woman wanted to withdraw money and gave a withdrawal slip,
    and as per the slip the cashier gave her 100Rs. There was a dispute
    and the matter came to my father.

    the lady argued that she wanted 'ayiram rooba' and the cashier is
    cheating her by giving only nooru rooba. The slip has only Rs.100
    written in it. When questioned, the lady said, 'yaara yematha
    pakkareenga...pona varam thollayiram rooba edukka 9 pakkathula rendu
    cipher poda sonneenga. ippo ayiram rooba venumna mattum moon cipher
    poda sollareenga. enna emathareengala?"

    whole office was dumb stuck!!!

    so its a question worth pondering. any comments?

    or thoL-Laayiram?9000 is Onpathu-aayiram??why this
    indifference.regards,kirutika.

    hi Kiruthika


    I think the roman numeral system also works this way.
    have forgotten a lot of them but
    IX is nine when X is ten( onnu pathu)

  • Hi all,
    I have been a silent observer of all the
    discussions going on here(might remain so). But since
    a question is raised about which every one of us will
    ponder over for our life time, i have a guess for that
    question. If wrong please correct me..

    90 is 10 short of 100(nooru) or IOW 90 is the
    preceding multiple of 10 for 100, so it is
    thonnooru(thol+nooru)
    900 is 100 short of 1000(aayiram) so thollayiram

    After that the series 9000, 90000 all follows which
    are all self explanatory....

    By the way, I am Vasanth from Tiruvannamalai, working
    in a IT company in Banglore presently..
  • Dear Vasanthakumar,

  • This '90 is thon-paththu or thon-nooru?900' subject is
    a matter of discussion even with Tamil scholars.
    Please see this link:
    http://www.treasurehouseofagathiyar.net/02100/2127.htm
    This is in unicode Tamil.


    Widely accepted and believed explanation is that
    9= thoL+pathu (meaning reduced ten by one)
    90= thoL+nooRu (meaning reduced hundred by ten)
    and so on.
